Rebel Rye Porter Extract Kit w/ Specialty Grains

$0.00

SKU# U0830

Breaking the mold with a bold, powerful statement born of stubbornness, Rebel Rye brings the fight to your brew kettle. This is a beer that knows little of balance, let alone restraint. Rye whiskey piles upon an already dense malty rye base, emboldened by undertones of hazelnuts dipped in chocolate. A pile of Anglo hops lurks underneath, providing enough earthy herbal elements to restrain the full force of revolutionary rye.

We strongly recommend ordering dry yeast in the summer months. We do include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeasts, but it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will survive the trip given transit times and particularly hot temperatures.

From London to Kentucky and all points in between, porters have been a perennial favorite of beer lovers and brewers for most of modern history. And for those of us who can’t get enough rye in our beers, our new Rebel Rye kit takes it to a whole new level.

Like our renowned Bourbon Barrel Porter recipe, the Rebel Rye calls for the addition of American oak cubes soaked in whiskey added to the secondary. But here the porter is a rich, malty brown porter without all the sharp edges of its robust brother to obscure the inherent spicy, oily character of a healthy dose of rye malt. And that element is elevated with the use of rye whiskey instead of bourbon. The result is intense rye spiciness jutting out over subdued roast character and a dense malt base.
